Types of azeotropes: 

Minimum boiling azeotrope 

The non- ideal solutions showing positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. 

Example: 95% ethanol and 5% water (by volume) 

Ethanol = 351.3 K , Water = 373 K, Azeotrope = 351.1 K 

Maximum boiling azeotrope 

The non- ideal solutions showing negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope at a specific composition. 

Example : 68% Nitric acid and 32% water (by mass)

Nitric acid = 359 k, water = 373 k, Azeotrope = 393.5 K
